This movie  was shown on Fox - Movies channel yesterday . Watched it  with my parents  .

It represented a very amusing and emotionally fulfilling  experience . Haven't had that feeling about a movie in a while .




 " This is a universal story , with universal emotions, and one that cuts across all cultures as its a film about what we all go through or will go through. "

The director did a very good job presenting the deepest of human emotions into screen .
The actors made a brilliant performance too .

What actually encouraged me to watch it in the first place  , was that Tabu was the main actress .

Chandini Bar was the first
movie i so her in . I came out of that movie with a very good impression about her acting and  movie choices  .

I believe she one of the most talented Bollywood actresses to   .
